The LCBO is continuing its yearly holiday tradition of extending its hours during the holiday season.

Various locations around the Greater Toronto Area will be open later than usual hours.

“It gives people the opportunity to purchase outside of what would normally be their hours,” LCBO media relations co-ordinator Christine Bujold, said. “They enjoy the flexibility of being able to purchase outside of what would be normal store hours.”

Stores operating on the extended hours schedule, will be doing so from Dec.11 until Dec. 30.

All stores close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, and all stores will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Customers are encouraged to check their store hours ahead of time as holiday hours vary for each location.
